IPL 2016 DD v/s KXIP :- Amit Mishra's magic with the ball does it for DD. Top Moments, IPL stats.

Another one sided game concluded at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium in Delhi. Both the team had lost there opening matches and were eager to open there account. Delhi Daredevils prevailed as the winners as they absolutely devastated Preity Zinta’s team.In what was a one-side affair, the Delhi bowlers did a terrific job to restrict a strong Punjab line up to a meagre 111. In reply, a De Kock inspired team easily chased down the total.
Here are the top moments from this game:-

1) Zaheer Khan's spell:- When Zaheer Khan was named as the captain of Delhi Daredevils, it surprised quite a few people. Looking at this game he has shown that he is one heck of a leader. One of the reasons why Punjab couldn’t muster up a respectable score was Zaheer Khan’s economical spell. In the four overs that he bowled, he took a wicket while giving only 14 runs. The wickets column might not have a big number, but the batsmen found it incredibly hard to score runs off his bowling.

2) Mishra's Mighty spell:-  It was in the IPL where he made a name for himself. And it is in this tournament that he continues to impress with superb displays of leg-spin bowling. He made his 100th IPL game a memorable one by picking up 4 wickets while giving away just 11 runs. And all this in the space of just 18 balls.
He took full advantage of the pressure that Zaheer Khan built on the Punjab batsmen and halted them at 111 runs.

3) Quinton de kock's innings:-  He went all-guns blazing and played a fantastic unbeaten innings of 59 off just 42 balls. He made sure he left the pitch with the win in the bag and was the mastermind behind Delhi’s 8 wicket win with 6.3 overs remaining and did the net-run-rate a world of good with the margin of win.

4) Great Fielding by Daredevils:- The Daredevils were like a live wire in the field. Two incredible runouts and some really good catches helped them to restrict the Kings under 120. Runout from Karen Nair to get rid of Vijay, run out from JP Duminy to get Saha and catch from Brathwaite to get rid of Maxwell were highlights of there fielding performance.

Here are the IPL stats from this game:-

1) Murali Vijay has been run out 12 times in all editions of the IPL. He overtook Gautam Gambhir and Venugopal Rao to take the ignominious record.

2) Mishra became the latest player to complete 100 matches in the tournament. Apart from the Daredevils, he had also played for Sun Risers Hyderabad and the now defunct Deccan Chargers.

3) 116 – The most number of wickets taken by a spinner across all seasons of the IPL. Mishra went past his erstwhile teammates Harbhajan Singh and Chawla with a four-wicket haul.
